Question

What is the slope? (Number)

What is the y-intercept? (Number)

Write a linear equation y=mx + b to represent the table:

Answer 1

slope=1

y-intercept=10

linear equation is y =x+10

Step-by-step explanation: to find slope take 2 points (0,10) and (2,12) as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively. Using slope formula(y2-y1/x2-x1) we get (12-10)/(2-0) which simplifies to 2/2 which is 1. y-intercept is the point where x is 0, then y is a number called y-intercept. And in the table when x=0 ,y=10 therefore 10nis the y-intercept. As for the linear equation, y=mx+b it simply is y=slope×x +y-intercept, from the previous question we can say y=1x+10 ( in math its better if the coefficient of x is 1 we can just say x) which is y=x+10.
